"......The Intel announcement is new evidence that the chip maker is maintaining the pace of Moore’s Law, the technology axiom that states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles roughly every two years, ....SNIP.......Intel’s imminent advance to 45 nanometers will have a huge impact on the industry, Mr. Subramanian said. “People have been working on it for over a decade, and this is tremendously significant that Intel has made it work,” "

I just checked; 1,000,000 nanometers = 1 millimeter (and 25.4 millimeters = 1 inch).
Smaller, smaller and smaller still. IT marches on.

Well, since there are quantum limitations - a computing element has to be several [rather, many] atoms thick, somewhere around 10 nm size the Moore's law will have run its course.
